i lol at her, but then realise i don't know what's wrong with it either. her house seems to just suck for computers. she's running off a wireless network, and the network is fine, because i can take my or my gf's computer there and it picks it up. but mother dearest has a laptop and a computer upstairs and either plugged in, or wireless, she can't open web pages. the internet says it's an excellent connection, but pages don't open. now i'm sure this is IP related but i don't really know how to fix it. diagnostics says it's the DNS config but who knows how often the default program is right. any idea how to check and fix this? i thought plugging it in directly would help but it gets the same problem. her mobile anywhere dongle works just fine, cept it's damn slow.
 
yeah, no problems picking up her wireless on ours. she's goooot...a pretty new linksys one, was about 50 quid. literally just hers that don't work on it.
 
problem still going tbh. her laptop is vista, and she already has that patch thingy, and her pc is xp and both do the same thing. i don't really get why.
 
lol *i* use wires for everything. but she insists on wireless. a test tells me that the modem is fine and it's connected well, but the line between the internet and the modem isn't getting anything. which is crap, cuz i get internet on my stuff.

phoenix- the ping timed out every time. i did the ip commands and when i did the renew one, it wouldn't work as it couldn't do it while the media was disconnected

or something
